Hollywood Domination Chapter 3: Gold Finger

Chen Zhen in her previous life could be said to be idle and doing nothing. She read a lot of online novels in her spare time, and of course she was familiar with Goldfinger. Of course, at that time, she never dreamed that such a thing would happen to her. As a reader, she often disliked the fact that the author gave the protagonist too much cheating, which made the protagonist too powerful, and the whole article lost a lot of words. pleasure.

Of course she doesn't think the golden finger is too big now, she has to open a money limit anyway, if this mysterious power is bold enough, Chen Zhen won't think too little of a trade across time and space, if there is one The system will be even more beautiful. As the goal is approached step by step, more functions will be unlocked one after another...

Unfortunately, compared with many characters in the book, her golden finger is extremely shabby, and basically only has one function.

The conditions to activate it are very simple, just close your eyes and meditate. Chen Zhen named it 'Performing Arts Space'. As long as she wants to enter it in her heart, she will find herself in a dark place in the next moment. In the space, there are many DVD discs flying up and down in front of her eyes, and she can choose them at will.

These discs are not all there is. Chen Zhen does not have a global film library for the next ten or twenty years. Most of the discs come from the movies, TV shows, and stage plays she has watched, and a small part comes from what she has heard for a long time. The daimyo has never appreciated it, anyway, there will be no films in the entire film library that she has never seen and has no impression of, and it is still based on her memory.

Chen Zhen's golden finger function one: rewatch old movies to your heart's content.

Reaching out her hand and scratching, Chen Zhen chose the classic blockbuster "Titanic" released in 1998. A large IMAX-sized screen suddenly appeared in front of her, and the space directly skipped the title of the production company information , to start playing this classic blockbuster from scratch.

The time flow rate of space is about 3 to 1 with the external space-time ratio, that is to say, Chen Zhen has 4 or 5 hours to enjoy this movie calmly, but she didn't watch it all from the beginning, but directly dragged it to Lu The scene of Ruth and Jack floating in the sea, re-read the touching confession.

Then muttered, "Start the simulation."

With a splash, Chen Zhen immediately fell into the water.

The heavy Edwardian clothing became more cumbersome after being soaked in water. Although the water temperature is not low, the huge studio must have a blower to help the air flow. When a gust of wind blows, she is still shivering with cold, lying on the wooden board He didn't even have the strength to get up.

"It's cold, isn't it?" The young Leonardo—Xiao Lizi talked to her while lying on the edge of the board. His handsome and extraordinary appearance was only a dozen centimeters away from Chen Zhen. "Damn, I was freezing to death too. Luckily James finally decided to let us shoot in warm water, or we'd have pneumonia."

Beside them is a large group of actors, all floating and sinking in the warm water. Seven or eight cameras, large and small, are facing the large pool, the slide rails by the pool, the underwater camera at the bottom and the outside of the pool. Back to the walking staff, vivid—or according to Chen Zhen's suspicion, the shooting scene of the Titanic was 100% restored. In the distance, you can even see the "King of the World" James Cameron and another The man was discussing something solemnly.

This is the second role of cheating: to reproduce the shooting scene.

Chen Zhen took the place of Kate Winslet here, of course, she smiled hurriedly at Leonardo, but did not answer anything, and a loud voice came from a distance, "Attention, scene 293 Act 6, second take, Action!"

"I'm cold," she urged herself to get into the scene quickly, reading the dialogue through tears, "I'm cold, Jack."

"Listen to me, Ruth." Leonardo's acting skills are exactly the same as in the movie, "You will definitely escape..."

A five-minute dialogue scene was filmed quickly, the director did not call 'Cut', and when the time set by Chen Zhen came, she returned to the performing arts space, and a sofa and some basic furniture had already appeared in the space , she sat down on the sofa and replayed the clip she just starred in.

The classic scene appeared on the big screen again, but Ruth's face had been replaced by Chen Zhen.

Function 3 of the cheat: Make the shooting scene into a film.

This is not as simple as re-watching the original video, but the final product after editing, post-production special effects, dubbing, and editing, which is no different from the released version. In other words, what Chen Zhen saw was' If Jenny Jane was in the 'Titanic' version, if she wanted to, she could play it from start to finish and watch the release version.

Jenny Jane is a Germanic beauty, and her figure at this time is slimmer than Kate Winslet, who is known as "fat and warm" (of course, this nickname is not fair. In fact, her figure is quite standard, just '10 catties fatter for photogenic'), and the appearance effect is more beautiful, but Chen Zhen's eyebrows are gathered when watching her performance.

"The performance is exaggerated and stiff, unnatural, and the lines are still poor." She was picky about her performance, "It's a failure."

Of course, this is also a very normal thing. No one can act as a heroine in a big movie right away. For most actors, this is a kind of arrangement that encourages the growth of seedlings. Although there are some talented wizards who can shine , With this, he soared into the sky, but in the final analysis, an actor is just a technical job, and he must go through certain exercises and reach a proficiency level before he can be promoted to a professional title. Without enough exercise, even wearing a dragon robe will not look like a prince.

Chen Zhen's performance is not bad. She also studied at the Academy of Acting for four years in her previous life, during which she practiced to a certain extent, but after graduation, she wasted ten years without thinking about acting at all. Now she resumes practicing. It's been less than a month, and now it's just poor acting skills. Anyway, the heroine's aura is still there, and the atmosphere of sadness is still there. If another passer-by goes up, it is estimated that he can act in a funny movie directly, and he can't even run out of words.

Rewatched the finished film twice, Chen Zhen couldn't stand it anymore, threw the remote control, said, "simulated scene", and returned to the shooting scene of the Titanic, Xiao Lizi smiled at her again, "very Is it cold?"

"Whatever." She replied angrily, and she lowered her head to contemplate by herself. Anyway, no matter how many times she repeated the simulation, how she reacted, Xiao Lizi only had these few words of dialogue.

This time, upon hearing the familiar 'Action', Chen Zhen muttered again, "Memory injection."

With a bang, many vague and complicated memories immediately appeared in her mind, as if Ruth's life had reappeared in a dream in an instant. Caring, and the love between her and Jack that seems to be sparkling like fireworks...

She was so cold, she couldn't stop shivering, because of the cold and also because of fear, she looked at her lover with all her strength, "Oh Jack, Jack, I'm so cold..."

"Listen to me, Ruth." Leonardo held her hand, his eyes were still shining, "You will definitely escape..."

Cheat finger function 4: Simulate character memory emotion. ——In Chen Zhen's view, this is also the core function of Goldfinger.

Actors' performance styles can be roughly divided into "experience school" and "expression school". It is inconclusive which school is better. However, most of the skills taught by the academy are expressionist skills, because the experiential school has higher requirements for talent, and it cannot be taught through precepts and deeds. And this golden finger can let her completely enter the role, and naturally reflect the emotion of the character itself in the scene, that is to say, it can make Chen Zhen transform into the most pure, receptive Experienced actors. ——Of course, in the performing arts space, she was the only one in the whole world.

She tried to call out this golden finger in reality, but she was unsuccessful. It is impossible for Chen Zhen to read the script while simulating the memory and emotions of the character, but this golden finger is not impossible to influence In reality, if she simulates in the performing arts space and then returns to reality, the emotional traces will still remain in her heart, and it will gradually fade away after a while. For movies, she can still perform most of the scenes with experiential methods, which is also the strongest bargaining chip that Chen Zhen uses to try the so-called "dominant Hollywood". Otherwise, she would not work hard in this direction at all, and would only immediately make herself more beautiful, try to save some money to take a college course, and try to marry a future wealthy son-in-law of the law school during her studies. Find another job.

So far, she has only discovered these four functions of the performing arts space, and these functions are all based on one point - to let her act well. So for Chen Zhen, her golden fingers are only in acting, and there are many restrictions.

Rewatching the performance after adding emotion, she is still not satisfied with herself-even if she is not the director, she can feel that the performance after adding emotion is a bit too "released". It was a bit incompatible with Leonardo's performance. If it was said that she was too reluctant to let go before and couldn't get emotionally involved, this time it was too full of emotion, which caused Leonardo and her rhythm to be out of place.

So, although this fourth role is the core, it still can't turn Chen Zhen into an experienced master overnight. It's one thing to be pure, but another thing to be outstanding.

After trying four more times, Chen Zhen was finally satisfied with the performance of this key scene. She waved her hand and activated the combination of Function 3 and Function 1, "Compare and play."

Two frames appeared on the screen, the original version of Winslet and the space version of Jenny Jane, both of them said the same lines, "Oh, Jack..."

Although "Titanic" is a blockbuster handed down from generation to generation, it does not require high acting skills for the male and female protagonists. The acting is already comparable to Winslet's performance. ——Although this is a queen-level character, her highest performance in "Titanic" is only this high, because the film does not reserve space for her to show off her acting skills.

...However, she still felt a slight incongruity in Jenny's version, and it was this incongruity that made her feel that the original version was more natural and superior.

What is the problem?

After reading the comparison three or four times, Chen Zhen finally came to a conclusion: the problem lies in bloodlines and temperament.

Jenny Jane is a Germanic beauty, but Kate Winslet is an English rose. In the role of Ruth, a British aristocrat, the latter naturally has a higher degree of fit. Her pure aristocratic English, As well as the temperament with a bit of classical charm, it adds a lot of charm to Ruth like the finishing touch. However, although Jenny Jane has also undergone excellent makeup, she is from the United States, so she naturally has a unique urban temperament of an American girl. Fundamentally speaking, she is somewhat incompatible with the role of Ruth.

Even if you have a golden finger, you can't break through your own limitations... Chen Zhen couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: How difficult is it to break out of your own world in the entertainment industry?

Chen Zhen could also hear outside sounds in the performing arts space, such as phone calls and cell phone ringing, and reviewed her performance several times. Late espresso iced coffee, packed up, and went to work by bike.
